Qmail has performed quite well for me. But for a less radical departure from the sendmail camp www.exim.org is worth looking at. the command line is sendmail compatible. the config file is human readable. top notch anti-spam support built in and many of the capabilities which make qmail good are also present. (i.e. secure delivery over NFS, Maildir support, etc.) I didn't particularly want to learn a new mailer, but I needed to implement something which supported /var/mail delivery without the headaches and inefficiencies of sendmail. qmail is good for high volume mailing list handling and when you don't have too much invested in a sendmail like environment. (read: hundreds of users with /home and /var/mail NFS mounted.) qmail was out of the question in that kind of setup unless it was there from the beginning. -- Yarema To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
